Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None (勇者パーティを追い出された器用貧乏)

Your sword's ready.

That's the one made from the Black Dragon's scale?

Wow!

The way it fits in my hand perfectly...

And it's weighted just right.

This is my new sword...

What do you think?

It's perfect. I'm impressed!

I swear on this sword...

that I'll protect my comrades no matter what!

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE

THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES FEARS FOR HIS FRIENDS

You chopped that undead's tough body clean in half, huh?

That means we've cleared Floor 91, huh?

How's your new sword?

It's wonderful.

It fits in my hand perfectly...

Like it was made just for me.

Old Man Aran went all out making it.

I can see why he's the Night Sky Silver Rabbits' best blacksmith.

The materials he used were good, that's all.

It was made with a Black Dragon scale after all.

I heard he used the blood of the Hiding Turtle we beat, too.

That would make it less sturdy, so why?

I had an idea.

I can enhance its sturdiness with my support magic, so that's fine.

Did you already pick a name?

Yeah.

"Schwarzhase."

That's not a common word...

It means "black rabbit."

It's a black sword born at the Night Sky Rabbits, after all.

Rabbit? It's made from a Black Dragon scale,

so wouldn't "Black Dragon" be cooler?

It's also celebrating my joining the Rabbits.

And Unit 1's ultimate goal is clearing the Great Dungeon, right?

The Black Dragon is just one step on the road.

That makes me happy to hear you say that.

Orhun has his sword, and we're ready.

It's finally time for Floor 92.

This time... we'll defeat the Black Dragon.

Why don't we get a drink to end the day?

I want to take a shower!

Orhun, can we have a word?

Is something wrong?

I want to talk about our plans for Floor 92 tomorrow...

Oh, sorry.

I promised to take the new recruits dungeon-delving tomorrow.

You're going back down there tomorrow?

Shouldn't you get some rest?

It's fine. I'm chaperoning, not fighting.

But still...

Everybody's getting a lot better.

They're going to Floor 29 next,

and I honestly think they can clear it without me.

They're that far down already?

Their adventures on the upper floors are about to come to an end, huh?

Yeah.

If they can clear Floor 30,

they'll be full-fledged adventurers.

I see...

So Sophia's growing up, huh?

A rumor?

If it's something you're worried about, it must be really bad.

Amunthoth.

The adventurer-killers have started appearing

in the Southern Great Dungeon, it seems.

Amunthoth is one of the two great criminal organizations,

alongside the Cyclamen Church.

They say we shouldn't be trying to clear the Great Dungeons.

They've killed many adventurers.

But it's just a rumor, right?

We haven't heard a word from the guild.

I'm afraid that some high-ranking adventurers

have already been killed.

There's a possibility they're keeping it quiet to avoid a panic, huh?

Damn Amunthoth...

What's wrong with clearing the Great Dungeons, anyway?

No idea.

Well, I shouldn't expect a bunch of murderers to have a good answer for that.

By the way, Gramps.

There's something I want you to make me.

Albert...

In three days, we're fighting the Black Dragon.

It'd make me happy... if you could watch us from heaven.

Here, it's all cleaned and ready to go.

Thanks, old man.

Now I don't have to worry about anything when I fight the Black Dragon.

You've gotten strong, Wil.

Where'd that come from?

The old you would've run away a long time ago.

I shamed myself, and got Albert killed.

I was the one who should've died there.

But I'm still alive.

So I have to do this, right?

This past year, we've worked harder than anyone.

But I don't know if it's enough.

If Albert saw me being this scared, he'd laugh at me.

I'm not going to lose anyone this time.

I never want to go through that again.

I won't let anyone else die.

Sister...

You're finally going to Floor 92, huh?

Yeah, finally.

Are you nervous?

It's been a full year, and it's time for revenge.

I was just thinking about how I'd beat the Black Dragon.

If you're scared, you can say so.

To tell you the truth, I don't want you to go.

He beat the Black Dragon last time,

but Orhun was a mess when it was over.

We don't know for sure you'll survive this time.

I want you by my side forever.

Sophia, I...

But even so...

you're going anyway, right?

So all I can do is...

Lately, Orhun's been putting me in charge of the party.

Little by little, I'm starting to feel braver.

So...

It's not much, but I'll share my courage with you.

Thank you.

I know you can beat the Black Dragon.

Good luck!

You've gotten stronger, Sophia...

I guess I can't just stay scared forever.

Thanks to you, I'm feeling brave now.

I'll beat the Black Dragon. I promise.

Okay!

We did it!

We cleared Floor 29.

Well done.

Thank you!

It's thanks to you, Teacher.

Once we're past Floor 30...

We'll finally reach the middle floors!

Then we'll be able to join Unit 3!

Yeah.

You'll finally start your real careers as adventurers.

You won't be new recruits anymore.

We'll do our best!

Can't wait!

Huh?

If that happens...

Will that mean Orhun won't be teaching me anymore?

I don't want that...

What's wrong, Sophie?

I'll do my best, too.

Okay, this looks fine!

I've received your application to go to Floor 30.

You'll have an adventurer from Unit 2 accompanying you as an observer.

An observer?

Their job is to see if you really cleared it on your own.

If you go deeper without being strong enough,

it'll be really hard, right?

It's a way to reduce the number of casualties in the Great Dungeon.

We've got Teacher with us, so why do we need someone else?

I'll put you on the schedule for two days from now.

Good luck.

Okay!

Two days from now?

That's the day when he and Sister are...
